Primary Commercial Activities Explain with 4 Examples
Answers
Explanation:
A primary economic activity refers to any kind of economic activity that involves collecting, extracting or harvesting natural resources. There are two types of products that can be produced from primary economic activities.
Products that are harvested or extracted and can be directly consumed without being processed or converted into another form. E.g., Fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural or animal produce.
Products that are harvested or extracted but cannot be directly consumed without being processed. These products are used in other industries as raw materials and are processed to produce finished goods that can be used by people. E.g., Cotton is a raw material that cannot be used directly but can be processed to produce clothes. Similarly, wood cannot be used directly but can be used to build furniture and housing, among others.
